Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

That one does look good though.

I dunno...after looking at the HIS 2600's reviews...it looks like the 8600 performs better than it in most situations...though not by a ton...but still.

HappySqurriel's link seems the best so far...

Having finished my computer too, I'd say it's time for a great computer. For example, the quad core has gone down a lot; the q 6600 being pretty close in price to a core 2 duo e 6700.

For my own graphics card, I got a 8800 GTS and the cost-performance ratio is pretty great. Since I got the 640mb version for my dual monitor setup, it cost a bit more, but I'm sure you can find a 320 mb version for much cheaper.

All I have to say is, don't get an ati card. It generally underperforms for a bigger price.



Yeah, I finally have a sig.

Don't be a little bitch and just take the plunge with the 8800GTS 320MB

The performance is as good as the 640MB and it will run Bioshock at almost (if not full) settings for you.

There is no other better card for the price, it blows everything else under it out of the FUKIN water, the only thing better is the hella expensive cards, and the performance of this card is still pretty damn close to those cards as it is.

Depending on the resolution that you run, but this game will basically run anything up to 1600x1200.

I personally run a 22" Widescreen at 1680x1050 with this card no troubles, I don't have any doubts that Bioshock will work with this PC...

Definitely get this card. Newegg is best bet.



I haven't read good stuff about the Radeon HD2600... it has good overclocking potential, but even with the clock at stock speed it can't outperform the 8600... I think it's 800 Mhz... the GeForce 8600 is less than 600 Mhz if I remember correctly

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
